" \r\n"
"ACPIVIEW [[-?] | [[-l] | [-s AcpiTable [-d]]] [-c] [-v] [-h Highlight]]\r\n"
" \r\n"
".SH OPTIONS\r\n"
" \r\n"
" -l - Display list of installed ACPI Tables.\r\n"
" -s - Display only the specified AcpiTable type.\r\n"
" AcpiTable : The required ACPI Table type.\r\n"
" -d - Generate a binary file dump of the specified AcpiTable.\r\n"
" -c - Consistency checking (enabled by default).\r\n"
" -v - Display verbose data (enabled by default).\r\n"
" -h - Enable/Disable Colour Highlighting.\r\n"
" Highlight : TRUE/ON enables highlighting;\r\n"
" FALSE/OFF (default) disables highlighting.\r\n"
" -? - Show help.\r\n"
" \r\n"
".SH DESCRIPTION\r\n"
" \r\n"
" This program is provided to allow examination of ACPI table values from the\r\n"
" UEFI Shell. This can help with investigations, especially at that stage where\r\n"
" the tables are not enabling an OS to boot.\r\n"
" The program is not exhaustive, and only encapsulates detailed knowledge of a\r\n"
" limited number of table types.\r\n"
" \r\n"
" Default behaviour is to display the content of all tables installed.\r\n"
" 'Known' table types (listed in NOTES below) will be parsed and displayed\r\n"
" with descriptions and field values. Where appropriate a degree of consistency\r\n"
" checking is done and errors may be reported in the output.\r\n"
" Other table types will be displayed as an array of Hexadecimal bytes.\r\n"
" \r\n"
" To facilitate debugging, the -s and -d options can be used to generate a\r\n"
" binary file image of a table that can be copied elsewhere for investigation\r\n"
" using tools such as those provided by acpica.org. This is especially relevant\r\n"
" for AML type tables like DSDT and SSDT.\r\n"
" \r\n"
"NOTES:\r\n"
" 1. The AcpiTable parameter can match any installed table type.\r\n"
" Tables without specific handling will be displayed as a raw hex dump (or\r\n"
" dumped to a file if -d is used).\r\n"
" 2. Formatted display and checking is provided for these signature types:\r\n"
" APIC - Multiple APIC Description Table (MADT)\r\n"
" BGRT - Boot Graphics Resource Table\r\n"
" DBG2 - Debug Port Table 2\r\n"
" FACP - Fixed ACPI Description Table (FADT)\r\n"
" GTDT - Generic Timer Description Table\r\n"
" IORT - IO Remapping Table\r\n"
" MCFG - Memory Mapped Config Space Base Address Description Table\r\n"
" RSDP - Root System Description Pointer\r\n"
" SLIT - System Locality Information Table\r\n"
" SPCR - Serial Port Console Redirection Table\r\n"
" SRAT - System Resource Affinity Table\r\n"
" XSDT - Extended System Description Table\r\n"
" \r\n"
".SH STANDARDS\r\n"
" \r\n"
" Table details correspond to those in 'Advanced Configuration and Power\r\n"
" Interface Specification' Version 6.2 Errata A, [September 2017]\r\n"
" (http://www.uefi.org/sites/default/files/resources/ACPI%206_2_A_Sept29.pdf)\r\n"
" \r\n"
" NOTE: The nature of the ACPI standard means that almost all tables in 6.1 will\r\n"
" be 'backwards compatible' with prior version of the specification in\r\n"
" terms of structure, so formatted output should be correct. The main\r\n"
" exception will be that previously 'reserved' fields will be reported\r\n"
" with new names, where they have been added in later versions of the\r\n"
" specification.\r\n"
" \r\n"
